This is not technically a regression. This is by design.

Why it happens: Scratchpad uses the Orion-based source editor component. Orion is a web app that uses the oncut/copy/paste clipboard events to handle the user cut/copy/paste actions. If you disable these, Orion breaks on the web and inside our developer tools.

We should protect Orion's code against such configuration changes.
